I am checking in

Hi everyone. I am so sorry I haven't been on board lately - I really miss all of you - I have been just spinning here with everything going on and with brain fog everything is a battle. I do know since Armour the fog has lifted - but I just seem to forget things as quickly as I remember them.  I think it is plain Old stress and nothing else.  Since I lost the 8 pounds I am now crabby that 20 more hasn't left yet. And for the first in a while my hair seems silky again after 6 months on it.

Work is winding down and this was my first full school year back to work after 4 years - so I am a little nervous if they will ask me back for the fall. I think they like me and I work very hard - so I hope for the best.

My older son is graduating and my youngest is driving soon.. YIKES I will be all alone with the hubby in 12 weeks!!! I think I may need to take up some sort of contact sport or hobby before that happens. LOL

How's the Armour people doing too. I have read so much on this med lately you can't imagine. I am seeing a bio-identicial hormone specialist on May 16th so I hope he unlocks this saga for me once and for all. Hope and pray for me.

Some say I have been a little depressed lately - maybe I suppose - but I think I am losing my boys and this chapter is closing very fast for me. I was always "mom" and find this new chapter is closing quickly. I think that is where the so called depression comes from

Anyway - I hope I find some extra time to keep listening and get more ideas for all of you. I alos hope this stuff I have been reading is helping some people as it has helped me.

Each little step I take is so far small but OK and this time I don't feel like I fall back 3 steps after.

Good health to all - that is what really matters.

Thanks !!  Utah I swear.... I am coming out there for a vacation this summer. !!  You are one of the friends here that light the fire under my ***. LOL

Who am I?? --- AR?  Hmmmmm let's see.  I believe you were the one who "saw" this happening to begin with!! .....  your funny. I'm glad Utah and Dac are bugging you - I just have no time to.

MK - it is NOT in your head - you should feel good - enjoy it and keep reading.

It is not really depression though - just "different " stuff lately - and I am a creature of "not " changing well .

I guess the boys need me more as something now other than their mom.

Good to "see" you around!  I will keep my fingers crossed all works out with you and your job and the doctor next week.  My mom definitely had depression issues when we were graduating and moving out/college and such....this, too, shall pass.
Be well!!!

Stellllllaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I've missed you hon!  Sorry about the depression.  Yeah, I understand - my "kids" are nearly 21 and 17 and it's strange.  Okay, not so sad about the daughter moving out but the son is a different story.  :-)     (shhhh, don't tell her I said this - she's the bipolar one who isn't taking her thyroid meds so the bipolar symptoms are back).

Hugs to you!

Don't be such a stranger (or Cheryl will hide your tiara).



AR-10 . . . who let you out of the box?  Argh!

Hi there ............yes, my friend it is you who has the accent and not me .......... well, at least I think so [inside joke as we reside on separate parts of the country LOL ] ....

I am sorry about the new chapter .. yeah, tough isn't it .. when they go on and grow up ... just the same times 100 like when they first walk and speak and have minds of their own ... driving .. yep .. mine is now doing that ... the letting go and new chapters are all exciting but also reveal our reall thoughts of change coupled with thyroid meds and YIKES!!!!

I'm around alot during the day ... on/off ckg messages as I work from my PC .. so no stress ... be well ........ and thanks for the hello!!!!

LOL!!

It was just too easy, and I couldn't resist. :-)

Kids grow up fast, don't they? Next thing you know you're fifty with the mental picture of being 30, and grandkids are running around.

You've been posting a lot in the mornings. (Who on Earth gets up at 3:30 every day on purpose?) Just haven't seen much of you in the evenings.

Anyway, there is balance and you need to have that.

I've been preaching the evils of Armour, but Dac and Utahmoma have been cackling and sending me David Hasselhoff pics in terse E-mails. Enough!!

So it's pretty much the same old same old and you haven't missed much.

Well...4 days on the Armour and I cant complain. I mean I'm not cured by a long shot, but I feel pretty good. Havent had a heart palp in 2 days!!!! Or at least the ones that I can feel. I think I a little hypo. I have sore hands. Not sure if its from picking up the baby and everyday stuff ornot enough meds.

I am really looking forward to my appt with Dr Bain as you know... I have some brain fog, but definitely lifting. I have energy. I mean once the day comes to a close, I am beat, but who the heck isnt, thyroid or no thyroid and with 2 rugrats running around all day.

I am reading The Thyroid Solution and learning alot. I cant wait to get on some sort of supplements to keep my body going and me healthy. Taking the 3 pills a day is so working for me and the cheek and gum thing too!

Question... is the Armour actually helping me a bit or is it in my mind? I just dont understand why everyone is not started out on this drug. I mean we are all different, but hey... so far so good!! Like I said, its not the cure of all cures yet,but I'm on my way and my hubby has seen a drastic change so far!!!

Love,
MK
